I have a massive Rockwell 3ph drill press that has such limited use for me because its speeds are SO high. Even at its labeled low speed of 375rpm it seems like it’s actually at 1k rpm. I’d love to rig up something like this.
Wondering if you have any thoughts on the depth required for a water table? I built a small CNC machine that I plan to attach a plasma torch to. I've almost got it ready to test but I'm working out a few bugs. The machine itself is made from v-groove aluminum extrusions and running Nema 17 motors. I can easily carry the entire 1000mm x 500mm frame and gantry setup. So it's going to be quite portable. I want to build a water table in the garage so I can place the machine on top of it and do a cut whenever I need to make a part. I was thinking of using an old refrigerator door as a water table. I'm just wondering how thick of a door I need to use to prevent the torch from blasting through it. Checking out your other videos right now and subscribe. Thanks for the info.
Saurais tu si 10 ans après, le site est toujours équipé stp?
What size extrusion do you use... like is it 30mm 40mm 1.5 inch etc
40x40mm "lighter version" extrusion
@@MitchGreeley Thank you so much 👌
Hallo! Super Video! Ich möchte das bei mir in Mach 4 implementieren, woher weiß die Steuerung auf welchem Pin dein Schalter im Floting Z ist?
Sir , plz tell me How to configure the floating head micro switch in the mach 3 to sense the initial height ??? Plz reply. ..

Place scribe sir
I don't understand your comment. There is an engraving "scribe" video on my page.
What port do you connect the limit switch to?

Hi what plasma cutter are you using
Hypertherm powermax 45
Just use twisted wire wheel cup angle grinder attachment. Will perfectly remove slag in seconds.
you forgot to say you need to change the refhome to false for g31 probe
Hi mitch i am trying to set a floating head in my plasma but i use LazyCam for creating GCode. Do you know if it possible to configure the Z Offset in that program, or it is only possible in SheetCam. Good Job and Vielen danke
Hi Javier, I have never used LazyCam so I can't say. Thanks for the comment and good luck on your search!
@@MitchGreeley thanks mitch. I finally desisted and i followed your steps. Anyway, sheetcam is much better software than the Lazy one. Thanks for your tips
Hello, great video. Can you send me the whole script from the postprocessor. Find that very interesting and would like to try that with me. I would the gladly the email address of me then by PN communicate. Thank you and greetings from Germany
Hallo Nils, ja sicher kein Problem!

we've been working with a plasma cnc for almost a decade now and the best way we found so far is this type of disc ran at lower rpm let me know what you think www.scule-austria.ro/disc-stern-gbs18024-pentru-slefuire-3917293.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAnvj9BRA4EiwAuUMDf60wwMN0LvKC7sZNGnl4dFveiEs0VC_llkKV2vcqBFDeChrgez6cixoCJS0QAvD_BwE
Big Help Mitch, love the way you organized this to be totally accessible with the minimalist slide system above. this is my go to guide. thx
Which thc did you used

Hey Mitch not sure if your gonna get this message but this is Jordan Miller from when we were kids. Nice channel dude.
great video...scribes are essential for making metal brake reference lines

hi! nice build! Can I ask how much the 8020 costed you in total of your project?
how to use M31 instead of G31 for mach3 probing ? can you please let me know . there is a problem with run from here action when you use G31 this is my Email n.chellou@tomens.tech Many thanks for the great video :)
How do you start the cut? My handheld Plasma cutter needs to touch the metal once to start the arc, how does this work on the machine?
Hi Peter, If grounded properly it should work. The torch isn't that high above aprox. 1.5mm. Starting the cut while touching the material can also damage your consumables. The machine is a Hypertherm 45amp.
Where did you source your board material and the pins they rest on? Nice build!
@Keeb Thanks! The pins are just flat allen head bolts (8mm) that are screwed into the slotted nuts in the aluminum profile. I tighten them down so they press against the profile and hold in place. The wood is around 9mm I think. Its a special type of laminated plywood commonly found here in Europe. One side is rough and one smooth. It's really light and strong.
Hi friend!! Exellent work You can pastme tve postprocesador?
My question is you operate a 4x8 CNC Plasma in a one-car garage?
Where did you get those plastic fittings and small valves
These are from SMC. There are several other brands out there. I generally use these types of valves and tubes becasue they are light and easy to install.
Nice job....I like it!! 👍🏻🚐✌🏻
donde cocigo el post?
minuto 1:02 - Post Processor - Mach3 Plasma with scriber and backlash compensation
@@MitchGreeley ya lo e encontrado,el problema esta en q no me detecta el probe
I like it! Are you using 80x20? Can you do a video of how you collapse the whole and part of the structure? Moreover can you describe the join point for frame and legs and slidies in detail?
It's 40x40 "energy" aluminum profile. Basically the lightest version of this kind of material. The join point is a fixing system associated with this type of material. There are slotted nuts that slide down into the profile. It's a pretty common material used in the automation industry with endless possibilities. I'll try and do a video in the next months to explain in better detail
Great idea! How did you attach the rails for the pull-outs? It would be great if you could show the whole setting up? Is there anything attached to the van itself?
I attached 2 profile pieces to the floor. The one in the front uses two existing threaded M8 holes in the floor and in the rear I drilled 3 holes and attached 3 M8 screws from underneath the floor into the profile. This gave me two long parallel rails to work with which would be of equal height. I'll post a more detailed video soon.
How do I wire the switch
It's a NC (normally closed) switch on the mounting plate. This runs to the controller and signals Mach 3 during the probing sequence in the Gcode. @ min 2:27 I show the switch engagement.
Sir , plz tell me How to configure the floating head micro switch in the mach 3 to sense the initial height ??? Plz reply. ..
Nice job! Are you doing it yourself?
@beerbrewer737 yep, I pull ideas from different places but the actual fabrication I do myself in my garage.
You the man!
Really nice work on the Plasma Table . Do you still have a PDF of the electrical system available
Does the foot switch turn on the light and the vfd?
@lisnut no it is constantly on as long as the machine is turned on. Would be possible obviously but then during the tool set up etc. it's not turned on.
program i use is universal gcode sender
HI I USE ARDUINO FOR MY CNC PLASMA AND I WANT MAKE floating head can you help me
THINK YOU IS NICE VIDEO
how exaclty do you set that up on mach ?......are you using a macro or something? im thinking about using sheetcam for my cad but im a little confused as to how the probing and then setting its self to clearance height will work...can you offer some insight?
I use sheetcam because of its wide range of post processors.. probably what you are referring to as macros. These offset values are then hardcoded into the post processors. I'll try and create a video this weekend.
Thank you so much!!! That would be awesome to see the visual representation of that action.... Ive been having some trouble wrapping my head around it.
@@MitchGreeley Sir , plz tell me How to configure the floating head micro switch in the mach 3 to sense the initial height ??? Plz reply. ..plz upload the video plz .
Hi, I need help !!!! How do you connect the swicht of the automatic 0 on the board and on the Mach 3? I have a floating head and I do not know how to connect the swicht and I can not use the machine. I think I'm going crazy! Thank you very much and I send you a big hug from Argentina.
@Alejandro Bavasso Nepote de Quilmes Sorry but I don't have enough info from you to really help.. What board? What logic on the board? What type of sensor to trigger? N/O N/C? Is the probe switch mechanical?
Hi, thanks for your response. I sold it !!! In these moments of my life, I'm not here to fight with machines! I thank you very much for your help, time and attention. I send you a big hug from Argentina.
hello!...i had a question....im building a plasma cutting cnc machine on my own and i want to make a floating z torch head in order to probe where my material is and set the ztorch to pierce height........im not sure if this action is created in the mach 4 i am using, a special script you have to type out with gcode and include in the gcode generated from the part in cam software or what?........i want to first understand what exactly is needed and how i all works together, also what type of cam software would you recommend for plasma cutting out parts? thank you so much
I use SheetCam. There is an offset you can put into the post processor, there are many post processor options. (this post processor is what writes the G-Code and tells Mach-3 what to perform.)
so sheetcam has this option? (the offset?) will sheetcam make that action repeat at the start of a new part cut out?......like will it send order to probe ? also the probe sensor is activated in the mach 3 settings right ?
Yes it has this option. This action is programmed to execute before your torch fires (in the GCode). This sensor is an input in Mach3. Mach 3 waits for the signal before proceeding further in the Gcode

Hy,how many hp motor?
I edited the info below the video and added the motor and vfd specifications.
Hey, you dit d great work with your plasma table. But i got a little question to you: Which output do you use for the engraving pen? do you made different tools with different offsets in mach3? we are using mach3, an powermax45 und proma thc too 😉 thanks for your time greets andreas
Hallo Andreas, Ich habe zwei Ausgänge auf meinem Kontroller. Ausgang 1 ist für den Plasma und der zweite für den Gravierer. Das zweite (Pt .2) Video erklärt wie man das programmiert in Sheetcam.
Hallo Mitch, danke für deine schnelle Antwort. Wir haben auch mehrere Ausgänge auf dem Kontroller. Wir programmieren mit Aspire 8. Die Werkzeuge heißen bei uns G43H1 und G43H2. Das Offset in Mach3 habe ich bereits gesetzt. Gibt es ein Makro um die verschiedenen Ausgänge zu schalten? Gruß Andreas
A guy I know who made his own table cut the supports just a little long , they have to be bent slightly to fit in there , it kinda makes a wavy look , this way he supports last longer , when he does a lot of straight lines , it wont line up exactly with the supports
also.. lead-ins lead-out.. lead-in.. perp .02 lead-out none. that tit at the end of your cut will go away. overcut of .05+/-
OK ill try that, thanks! I'm assuming .02 inch = 0.05mm
Yes.. Im speaking in terms of an Inch.
Man.. your pause after pierce is really long! arent you getting dimples at the pierce point? Especially on thin sheet youll melt a lot of material and never get a good clean shape. I know a lot of times this doesnt matter but on lines with no lead-in and really small holes, youll see that a pause of more than 1 sec will blow a big hole.
Thanks for the input! I'll adjust it and see if this improves.
Good day Mitch Greeley are good your videos you can do me the favor of passing me a file of code that generates in sheetcam my mail is manueljo25@gmail.com thank you very much
